Wait wait wait wait…I’m pretty good at catching things. You’re saying I could get a drive by kitten adoption? That sounds super fast, efficient, and then I’d have a kitten on my way home from work!

To be fair, usually when a language adopts a new word from other languages, they start spelling it in there own fashion. English is unusual in that they use the original spelling.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
French in particular gets a lot of words with original spellings because it used to be the language of the courts in England.

Not always, the word skosh(meaning just a little bit or a tiny amount) comes from the Japanese word sukoshi(少し), but that can probably be attributed to the language not generally using romanized letters.
It’s a very interesting word to me since its one of the very few words that migrated from Japanese to English and isn’t a name of something. The way it came over is also rather interesting, as it was through collaboration between us and Japanese soldiers during the Korean war.

Hancho (via head honcho) also comes to mind.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 1 day ago
My favorite are British English, who can’t stand the French to the point that they say things like filet with a hard T.
This also reminds me of a recent trip to Colorado, where they do the same thing with Spanish words, anglicizing all of them. Salida (sa-LIE-da) is the first one that’s coming to mind, but I know there are other cities in Colorado that are clearly Spanish words that they’ve just abused.

Pretty sure it was the Swedish who decided the pronunciation of “rendezvous”. Kinda obvious, really.
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 1 day ago
I blame the Danish
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Speaking as a Dane, I accept the blame. In fact it was me. I decided it.

Not to long ago, I was mourning the loss of the Conversatron 3000. It was a forum site that was nothing but comedy writers, using the medium to tell a flavor of joke and observational humor that could only work on that medium. A lot of it had this formula of “dumb question/observation”, “dumber retort”, “setup”, and finally “witty punchline.” Sometimes, that would just thread on for multiple rounds. Rarely, threads were open to user comments too.
Now I understand why that hasn’t come back. We don’t need it anymore.

Etymology: The word originated from Mr. Rónald Dèus Vu, which the concept is named after. It later simplified to Rón-Dè-Vu
Synonyms: déjà vu, jamais vu

One of the funniest aspects of Detroit is how bastardized all the French street names are pronounced by locals. Gratiot, Dequindre, Livernois come to mind but there are too many examples.

English is the LAST language that gets to complain about how you pronounce stuff. Ever read an english word that you have’nt heard before? You’re pronouncing it wrong.

The UK should do a major spelling reform and troll the shit out of the U.S and their then “archaic” English.

UK is the worst, US makes sense at least to some degree.
Gloucestershire - pronounced glostershire Warwick - pronounced warrick And there like hundreds of these weird ones.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 day ago
The UK accent is actually more “modern” than the US one because the US one is more aligned with the accent imported around the time of colonialism.

But this is someone complaining about an English word and how it is pronounced. Yes, it comes from another language. That is the entire reason English has a lot of examples like this.

You can work it out through tough thorough thought, though.

Seriously!
We have a third grader, and he’s pretty good at reading. Recently he has been arguing with us about the pronunciation of some new words from his homework.
The problem is, his arguments are sound! He’s accurately following the rules he learned for sounding out words.
When this has come up in the past, all I’ve been able to do is acknowledge his argument and explain to him how English has all kinds of weird rules and exceptions, and it’s the kind of thing you remember with experience using the words. Like, there is no new rule to learn, and you don’t have to freak out about remembering all these exceptions. It will just come with time. (Because we all know there’s nothing that kids like more than olds telling them to just wait or give it time, lol)

Of all people, Gallagher made the point in the 80s. I think George Carlin also did a set about English words once.

English is not the last language that should complain; unfortunately, 54% of the US population has a literacy level below that of a 6th-grade student.
Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Even if you have heard an English word before, you’re probably still pronouncing it wrong
FishFace@piefed.social 1 day ago
But the point is that the person complaining isn’t complaining about the French, but about some imagined English dude who picked the pronunciation of rendezvous for fun
arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Fair enough. Then it must have been the same dude who decided all the other words with random pronounciations. If you find them, tell them to go fuck themself.
